On July 23, 2023, at about 8:09 p.m., Humboldt County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to the Hammond Trail’s south entrance, located off Mad River Road near Arcata, for the report of a vehicle burglary.

Deputies met with an adult female victim whose vehicle window had been broken and her purse stolen. According to the victim, while walking on the trail she received an alert from her bank notifying her of multiple unauthorized purchases, totaling nearly $2,000. When she arrived back at her vehicle, she learned that the burglary had occurred.

Utilizing the victim’s purchase history, deputies were able to track and eventually identify the suspect as 37-year-old Misty Marie Milligan of Eureka. On July 24, at about 1 a.m., Sheriff’s deputies observed a vehicle associated with Milligan traveling in the area of 4th and R Streets in Eureka. Deputies conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle and contacted Milligan and her passenger, 50-year-old Tasha Ticheal Jantz. Milligan was taken into custody without incident. During a search of Milligan and the vehicle, deputies located the victim’s stolen purse, approximately 6 grams of methamphetamine, 4 grams of fentanyl and drug paraphernalia.

Milligan was booked into the Humboldt County Correctional Facility on charges of theft by forged/invalid access (PC 484g(a)), possession of a controlled substance (HS 11377(a)) and possession of a controlled substance paraphernalia (HS 11364).

Jantz was found to have an outstanding felony warrant. She was arrested and booked into the Humboldt County Correctional Facility on warrant charges of convicted felon in possession of a firearm (PC 29800(a)), vehicle theft (VC 10851(a)), DUI (VC 23152(a)) and violation of probation (PC 1203.2(a)).
